of William Williams Thursday of last week,
the bearing before Justice King, of Cumber-
land resulting in his commitment on Satur-
day, were briefly noted in last weeks JOUR-
NAL. The following additional particulars
are clipped from the Cumberland Nees. 1t
will be remembered that Williams is now
charged with completely in the Willson

At the hearing Saturday States Attorney
Richmond represented the State and d. w.
Sloan appeared for the prisoner.
Andrew Smeltz, the first witness for the
State, testified that the night of the fire he
was at Hamptons saloon when it was closed
Billy Williams went down into the cellar and
came back saying he had locked up. The
upright door leading from the cellar to the
lot outside was open when the fire was dis
covered. Williams did odd Jobs for Hamp-
ton There was no stove or tiue in Hampton's
back room on the first floor, where the fire
started. Describing to the magistrate the
extent of the damage done by the fire Mr.
Smcltz stated that the roof of Williams house
was burned, the top portion of Wineland's
and all but the lower floor of Hampton's.
James ID. Williams described the fire and the
narrow escape he made in getting ont. He
then described a visit made by himself and
John Thomas Lewis, OF Frostburg, to Will
liams the day after he was placed in jail.
Witness told Billy he was sorry to see him
there He said the d-land Mrs. Wineland
had brought him there, and that if he got out
of this, he. would watch himself in future
Witness told him he had nearly burned up
and asked him why he had not hollered and
given witness a chance for his life. He then
saId he was sorry; that he never thought
about il. lie then described how Mrs. Wine
land and another veied lady had met him
and walked ddown Main street into HamptOn's.
Williams said he had left the cellar door un-
locked so they could get in; he guarded the
door while Mrs. Wineland and the other
lady went upstairs and Mrs. Wineland struck
the match. Then they came down and said
it twas working all right" Witness talked
to Billy because he had been burnt out.
Neither witness or Lewis made any promises
or threats to him and the statement was
voluntary.
John Thomas Lewis corroborated the
testimony of j. d. Williams as to Billy Will
liams' statement in the JAIL adding that he
opened the trap door for the ladies to go up
stairs. This closed the States case.
Mr.. Sloan said he would offer no testimony
for the defense, although four witnesses, all
colored, had been summoned and sworn in
Williams behalf The accused was then
committed without bail.

Labor Matters at Home and Abroad.
Outside of the effort made by the drivers
there is not ripple of discomfort in this
region.
In Clearlield it is reliably stated, the oper-
ators and miners have signed an agreement,
providing that the price of mining from
March l is to be 50 cents per gross ton of
2,24O pounds; check weighman to be en-
ployed on each tipple, and his wages are to
be collected in the office; the pay day is to be
the third Saturday of each month, and men
are to be free to deal in what stores they
please wages are to be paid in full in cash
after dcGucting for oil, powder, cotton, fuel,
rent and smithing wages for dead work are
to be settled by the superintendent and one
miner at each mine, and, if they fail to agree
by a disinterested third party; other labor is
to be based on the price hitherto ruling when
mining was 25 cents a ton. This agreement
is to continue as long as 50 cents ton and
monthly payments continue in the Cumber-
land region.

Boots Coming Into Fashion
Again,

From the New York Times.
Fifty years ago boots had the pref
erence. To-day, shoes. Formerly,
in all weathers, the boot was worn
outside of the trousers. To-day, when
worn at all, the legs of the boots are
covered by the legs of the trousers. The
whirligig of time is bringing boots in
to the fashion again, at least for win
ter wear, and it seems to be in the in
terest OF good health. It stands to
reason that it should be so. Every
body respects the force of the general
hygienic principle that it is necessary
to keep the head cool and the feet
warm if good health is sought. Boots
cover not only the feet but the ankle
and the lower leg, and hence fight of
rheumatism, that delights In attack
ing those parts. Wooden stockings
are possibly too heating, and make
the feet perspire. With a pair of good
boots, cashmere socks are better.
The sole Of winter boot should be
thick, but, being thick, it isn't neces-
sary that it shonld be heavy. Cork
soles are excellent, and they make q
lieht-weighted boot, while protecting
the foot from the wet. A pair of
fancy-leather tops, say of the best
morocco, will last many years, and
so, with footing, boots eventually
cost as little as shoes. The boot legs
should fit as snugly to the limbs as
the size of the feet will permit. This
makes the legs of the trousers fit the
better. Eschew goloshes. They in
jure by'drawing." Let the thick soles
serve their purpose. If the feet get
wet put them into cold water, next
dry them thoroughly, and then, with
change of socks, they will fairly glow
with warmth.
